If you are doing limit hold em, it really doesn't matter what the max is because you can't bully people around with big chip stacks. If you are doing 1/2 NL, 200 as the max and 20 as the min. 2/5 have 500 max, 40 min. This is how most casinos do it at least. If people want to buy in low and still play, that's fine...they just need to realize what they are up against.

ETA: In cash games, I've never pulled someone's blinds. Let them take a piss break or smoke break. Tournament style, you definitely take the blinds away.

This...but you also can't run into the person who will want to take multiple breaks when it's their turn to post blinds. That's why I said, if they miss a few hands (and skip their blinds) if they want to jump back in before it's time to post again they put a small blind in one hand and a large blind in the next. They do this, then everything is even and they can't get away with skipping blinds. They would be dumb to not just wait till it's back to their blind to play, but to each his own.
